The Dentist

All growing up I hated the dentist, but that's probably because I had cavities so it wasn't a good experience. J loves the dentist, he says it's like going to a spa!! I'm not that fond of it but I have gotten better-the massaging chairs and TV's in the ceiling help A LOT!!! We really love our dentist, he is very nice and great with our children, the kids love going to the dentist, they get so spoiled- watching cartoons, getting a goodie bag with their own stuff, including a frozen yogurt gift certificate, a gold coin to get a treasure and a balloon, it's like the fair!! Also, one time we went Sis got done first so the dentist had her come over and help with JD, she got to wash her hands, put on gloves, and use the water sprayer and sucker on him!!!

Wish my kid loved going. Today was Matty's first visit and he REFUSED to cooperate. What's even more crazy is the dentist is his UNCLE!! I thought he'd be so excited to be there and see where his Uncle Sean worked. Guess I was wrong! The most we got him to do was let ME brush his teeth with a regular toothbrush so the hygienist could at least look at them, and just getting him to do that took and hour and many, many bribes. Stinker!!

Oh my goodness, all this new stuff to keep your minds off those awful instruments. I'm surprised Jerrod likes the dentist...there was a time when he was a little boy and the dentist hurt him taking out stitches!
